Debate: Are organisations like AfriForum running a parallel state?

In the heart of Johannesburg, where the bricks of Constitution Hill still whisper the struggles and triumphs of South Africa’s turbulent past, a new kind of movement was born. One that doesn’t march in protest, but dances, paints, raps, speaks, and reimagines. It’s called Basha Uhuru - a festival not just of art and music, but of memory, imagination, and the unapologetic assertion of freedom.  Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Constitution Hill's public programmes director, Reuben Pasha and Basha Uhuru Event Operations Manager,Bandile Fakude.

South Africa’s Road infrastructure, spanning about 750 000 km and ranking as the tenth-longest road network globally, currently battles a significant pothole crisis exacerbated by inadequate workmanship. The issue undermines road safety and imposes a heavy financial burden on taxpayers, motorists, and the government. The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) is currently managing about 21 403 km of paved roads, provinces manage about 204 830 km of paved and unpaved roads, and municipalities manage roughly 292 207km of paved and unpaved roads. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with JRA Head of Regional Operations, Khayalethu Gqibitole, CEO of the South African Road Federation (Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE) with extensive expertise in road infrastructure, pavement engineering, and transport planning), Marshall Muthen and SANRAL Engineering Executive Director, Louw Kannemeyer.

State of Johannesburg and national roads: endurable patchwork , poor maintenance and recurring potholes on our roads 

South Africa’s constitution says “everyone has the right to have access to sufficient food and water”. In reality, however, this right is not enjoyed by all. Many places experience regular water shortages or cut-offs. Some people struggle to access water for drinking, household use and commercial use (mines, factories and agriculture).  Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Chief Research Specialist in the Equitable Education and Economies (EEE) research division at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), Dr Thembinkosi Twalo.
